#Sky Bet Ebor

But the road hasn't always been clear for one of Newmarket's most popular residents, speedbumps and obstacles needing to be overcome in much the same way Chapple-Hyam has battled with his mental health for a number of years. While Frankie Dettori was treating the Epsom crowd to a flying dismount following Authorized's brilliant Derby rout in 2007,…

Gaassee is Newsboy's tip for the big race of the day, the Sky Bet Ebor. It is a typically competitive renewal, with plenty of Irish-trained runners including Earl Of Tyrone and late gamble Licence William Haggas (right) trained superstar Baaeed (pictured at Goodwood) to win at York earlier in the week - and Newsboy hopes he can add this year's Ebor…

This is Newmarket but not as we know it. With one of two canters completed, horses amble through what feels like a dark, thick forest that paints an elegant impression of Chantilly. As they make their way back towards the woodchip gallop, David Elsworth drives slowly and carefully in between trees. Behind us Racing Post photographer Edward Whitaker…

Frankie Dettori in the type of face mask that has become a familiar sight in racing Jockeys will no longer be required to wear a face covering while riding in a race, the BHA has announced in its latest guidelines. Riders are required to wear a mask before and after the race, but are now permitted to pull down the face covering in the moments prior…

The unbeaten Royal Aclaim is favourite with the bookies Sonnyboyliston ridden by Ben Coen winning the 2021 Sky Bet Ebor Handicap Headline act Baaeed kickstarts Ebor week by trying to emulate fellow great Frankel in the Juddmonte…

Saturday is billed as "Juddmonte Day" as the breeding operation sponsor the Royal Lodge, Cheveley Park and Middle Park Stakes, but it could end up being Coolmore Day or even H H Aga Khan Day, though the predominately emerald green silks representing the latter will not be on show, not at Newmarket anyway. That's because the season's outstanding…

It was a hot renewal of the Gimcrack Stakes, perhaps the most strength in depth in the race for many a year, a contest which has produced Group One winners like Muhaarar, Blue Point, Sands Of Mali and Emaraaty Ana in the last decade. The first two home this year, Noble Style and Marshman, pulled over three lengths clear of the rest and they look…

Trained by William Haggas and ridden by Jim Crowley for owners Shadwell Estate, the 2/5 favourite emulated his sire Sea The Stars with victory in the day-one feature of the Sky Bet Ebor Festival.

You simply have to stand back and admire the work John Quinn has done with Highfield Princess. From getting beaten in a Doncaster handicap off a mark of 57 she has now scaled the heights of her sport in three consecutive races to become the undisputed Queen of European sprinters. From Deauville to York to the Curragh she has beaten everything…

When you breed Tagula as a 12-year-old you might suspect you have the Midas Touch. Throw in a Group One winner in your sixth season with a full licence and the evidence grows. But Paddy Twomey is no ordinary trainer. From child prodigy in the breeding industry, trading in yearlings, which led to training and selling breeze-up horses, he has done…
